The feeders are positioned adjacent to one another, instead of opposite - with an attacker and defender inside the square. The attacker can offload to either feeder. However, if the attacker cannot get free within 3 seconds OR the attacker is holding the side of the free feeder - the ball can swing to the free feeder. The ball can only be swung once, at which point it must be passed to the attacker. The attacker must still try to get free each time for the first feed.
The attacker can use the defender to hold their space for the ball to be swung - after attempting to get free. Feeders need to recognise when the attacker is stuck and use the swing to open them up to feed the ball in.

Netball is experiencing unprecedented growth, with record viewership, evolving rules, and professional leagues expanding worldwide. Here's what 2026 brings for our sport.
